Analysis on the KUCA MEU experiments, (2); Boron burnable-poison effect
- 1. Kyoto Univ., Kumatori, Osaka (Japan). Research Reactor Inst.
Description
A two-dimensional finite-element diffusion code (2D-FEM-KUR) was applied to simulating the measurements of boron burnable-poison effects. Taking advantadge of the finite-element method, a complex core configuration employed in the KUCA MEU experiment was explicitly modeled by the 2D-FEM-KUR code. Using five-group constants generated by the ANL code system (EPRI-CELL) and the transverse bucklings derived from the measured reflector savings, neutronics calculations were performed. The differences between the results of calculations and experiments were less than 1.8% in the C/E ratio for eigenvalues. (author)
